Description
Introduction
Dark times have come… Varyn has stretched his corruption to the element of water. It's immortal guardian has been taken over by him, but we could seal it in the garden. You can try to kill it, but if the garden is left, he reappears again. After defeat only ink remains, but you can trade it with the Klops.
It is best to play this mod in a group as well as have good gear, since the boss is very hard to defeat. Due to this you don't loose items nor do they take damage upon death inside the boss arena.

This mod adds a puddle portal in the Forgotten Temple, leading to a water arena with the boss. You can traverse it by swimming or using the given boats. But be aware of the inklings as they might swarm you. Luckily killing them damages the boss, since they are personifications of it's life energy. The boss is though, but don't worry! You'll keep your items upon your demise. After defeat the boss leaves it's ink behind, a resource highly sought after by klops merchants. They can give you water related blocks, ores, as well as some magic items.

Originally we wanted to make the mod bigger (one boss for each element) , but due to our limited time as well as manpower problems (we both were busy with another project for the most of the time) it turned out smaller. If you have any feedback or bugs you can post them in the comments.
Known bugs:
- Boss Bar stays after leaving the instance: temporary fix: rejoin, since it cleares non serialized components
- Crashes with other mods, that add a custom hud. Actively trying to fix it
